Who Should Attend
The ASM Educational Symposium is directed to the broad materials science and engineering community based in universities, industry and laboratories who wish to learn what the neutron sources in the US can provide for enhancing the understanding of materials behavior, processing and joining. Emphasis will be on the possible uses of the several world-class neutron sources in North America. Special information on the facilities at the upgraded High Flux Isotope Reactor and the recently commissioned Spallation Neutron Source will also be presented via tours.
For those interested in stress, texture and phase transformation for industry a companion workshop will be held the following day - visit the NST2 workshop website. This workshop will emphasize the Engineering Neutron Diffraction facilities for non destructive stress, phase and texture mapping, in situ load and furnace measurements, and grain level materials deformation behavior. The connection to modeling of residual stress generation and deformation processing will also be made.

Lodging and Transportation
The conference hotel is the Comfort Inn of Oak Ridge. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Government rate of $72 plus tax for registrants to the Symposium. When making reservations please identify that you are attending the ASM/ORNL Educational Symposium. The cut-off day for hotel reservation is March 17.

Buses will be provided for transportation to and from the hotel to the Spallation Neutron Source’s Central Laboratory and Office building at ORNL. Pickup at the hotel will be about 7:30 a.m. with arrival at ORNL about 8:00 a.m.
Transportation by private vehicles to the site is discouraged because of lack of parking and site access requirements but attendees may drive their own vehicles to ORNL if they are registered to attend the Symposium. Attendees driving their own vehicles must allow an extra 30 minutes for processing at the security portal.
Location Directions and Map
Directions to ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source:
Advance registration by April 9 is required.
A bus from the conference hotel in Oak Ridge will be the best method to come to ORNL-SNS. The bus will return to the conference hotel at the end of the tours of SNS and HFIR. See the agenda for specific times.
Attendees may drive their own vehicles to ORNL, but must allow an extra 30 minutes for processing at the security portal. For those driving take Bethel Valley Road westbound to the security portal, stop and show identification for each member in the vehicle. Upon approval, continue westbound on Bethel Valley Road for about 3 miles to the first traffic signal. Turn right at the signal and the large stone “Spallation Neutron Source” sign. Proceed up the road 1.8 miles to a large flat parking area at the top of the hill, park in front of the building that has three flag poles in front of it (Building 8600). To the right of the flag poles is the main entrance.
Additional directions from specific locations can be found on ORNL's Driving Directions page. A McGhee Tyson Airport to Oak Ridge/ORNL/SNS route map is provided here in PDF format. Addtional maps can be found on ORNL's Getting to ORNL or Getting Around ORNL pages such as this visitor center campus map and SNS campus map also provided in PDF format.
Scholarships - CLOSED!
Scholarships applications are closed. Those receiving a scholarship award have been contacted by Ms. Roberta Campbell of the University of Tennessee. The scholarships were made available by the generous sponsorship of the UT-ANSWER program, an NSF International Materials Institute program.
